I'd like to play Henry Hook (can't remember the film in detail off hand, ut Hook was controversial, wasn't he?) I like controversy! Dorian Love ... From:...
I noted with surprise this evening that John's latest post (which incidentally I found quite interesting- particularly the link) had been censored by Chris in...
... Hi There is only one thing worse that irrelevant posts, and that's references to irrelevant post which apparently I have not received! One wonders what...
John wrote this after his note on 20mm wargames was posted. If you don't want some of my more controversial messages to be posted, you need to delete them -...
Hi Chris I think you made the point when you spoke about "your house". This is your house and we are the guests. You invite us in then your duty as host is...
